Penguins

I copied this idea from Mrs. Ramseier (amazing kindergarten teacher) that I work with. The penguins are life size, and the students think it is so cool to see if they are bigger than the Emperor Penguin.

If this widget doesn’t work, the first thing you want to do is comment out or remove this line.
